University chapel nurtures members of the campus community in faith, hope and love as disciples of Jesus Christ. A community gathering place for worship and forum, university chapel reflects an Anabaptist/Mennonite perspective alongside the diverse gifts, traditions and cultures of the broader Christian faith. In addition to Wednesday and Friday chapels in Lehman Auditorium, the seminary offers chapel gatherings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and students lead Celebration: Praise Worship weekly on Sunday nights in Martin Chapel.
